Chapter 29 Something happened! ...
What's going on?
Lin Zhi thought quickly, and then... cut it off.
"Lin Zhi" and Lu Yuan do not have a good relationship, so it is normal for Lin Zhi not to answer Lu Yuan's call.
Lu Yuan: [? ]
Lu Yuan: [Luo Xing, why don’t you answer?]
Lin Zhi paused.
What is this doing?
Why did Lu Yuan call "Luo Xing" to the account of "Lin Zhi"?
Lu Yuan: [Luo Xing?]
Another phone call.
Could it be that... Lu Yuan is testing me?
If he responded to Luo Xing's call as Lin Zhi, it would indeed be a bit strange.
But why would Lu Yuan suddenly test him like this? He had no weaknesses in front of Lu Yuan.
Or maybe he was overthinking it, and Lu Yuan just... sent it to the wrong account?
But no matter whether Lu Yuan was testing him or made a mistake accidentally, Lin Zhi had to be fully prepared to ensure that he was safe.
Lin Zhi: [What do you mean?]
Lin Zhi: [You've got the wrong person. I'm Lin Zhi.]
Lu Yuan: [Oh? Really?]
Lu Yuan: [I pressed the wrong button.]
Lu Yuan: [But I do have something important to talk to you about. Please answer the phone.]
Lin Zhi raised his eyebrows.
After the call was connected, Lin Zhi asked, "What's wrong?"
His tone was as cold as ever, completely different from when he was Luo Xing.
There was silence on the other side for a long moment.
Um?
Lin Zhi frowned.
After a long pause, Lu Yuan said, "What is your relationship with Luo Xing? Just tell me, if you abandon her, don't blame me for being rude."
...?
Lin Zhi froze in place.
What does Lu Yuan mean?
"what are you up to?"
Lu Yuan snorted coldly, "Rather than letting him suffer with you in the upper city, it's better for him to live in the lower city."
“…”
Lin Zhi sensed the hostility in Lu Yuan's tone, and was stunned at first, then his ears turned red.
No, does he even know what he is talking about?
He almost couldn't keep a cold attitude towards Lu Yuan.
...The other party is really crazy.
After a long pause, Lin Zhi said, "Why don't you ask him if he's willing?"
"Lin Zhi, are you provoking me? What? Are you proud of using special means to keep the Omega?"
“…”
Lin Zhi was speechless. How could he sense such a strange desire to win?
Is Lu Yuan angry because he lost?
Lu Yuan warned again, "Don't bully him or hit him again, or I can't guarantee what I will do to you."
“…”
Lin Zhi changed the subject, "Is this the serious matter you were talking about?"
"There is indeed another important matter. I know who you are. You can't be completely unaware of what Luo Xing is doing. I've also stated frankly that Luo Xing and I have reached a cooperation. If you try to stop it, you're challenging me. I hope you won't do that."
...It turned out that they were worried that Lin Zhi or the powerful people would prevent Luo Xing from transporting people to the lower city in a few days.
"Besides, Luo Xing is doing such a dangerous thing alone. If the Duke finds out, he might even lose his life... Lin Zhi, I know all the unscrupulous things you and the Duke have done behind his back over the years. If you still have any conscience left, go and help him."
Lin Zhi raised his eyebrows.
But it was good that Lu Yuan said that. If Lu Yuan wanted Lin Zhi to help Luo Xing... then when he escorted people to the downtown area as Luo Xing, he could take Adolf with him, which would be very convenient.
It was exactly what he wanted.
"If I had to stop it, I would have stopped it long ago."
Lin Zhi hung up the call.
…
Lu Yuan stared at the terminal.
He had given Luo Xing a ring before, and as long as Luo Xing pressed and held the button, he would receive a notification.
When Lu Yuan was with Luo Xing, he tried to detect the ring after Luo Xing fell asleep and found that the ring was still on Luo Xing.
In other words, Luo Xing did not throw away the ring, although no one knew where he put it.
Since it was not thrown away, the experiment can be carried out.
He installed a locator in this ring. Unlike ordinary locators, it was specially designed to detect third-party signals, that is, other people's terminals.
Just now when he was talking to Lin Zhi, he tried to activate the ring.
That’s right, Lu Yuan installed a remote control button on this ring, so he can conduct detection anytime and anywhere.
The ring detected a third-party signal, and the signal transmitted back was exactly the same as the signal captured when he was talking to Lin Zhi.
In other words…
——The ring and Lin Zhi’s terminal are in the same position.
Is it because Lin Zhi used Luo Xing’s terminal?
Or is it because Luo Xing gave the ring to Lin Zhi?
Or are the two of them sticking together at this moment?
or……
impossible.
Luo Xing is from the lower city area.
Lu Yuan's eyes dimmed slightly.
It was as if there was a scale in his heart, with completely different answers written on both sides.
But as time goes by, more and more chips are added on both sides of the scale, and the possibility becomes greater and greater.
But the bad thing is that both sides are increasing simultaneously.
Lu Yuan took a deep breath, closed the program, and turned to look at the dark shadow cleaning the bar. "Dark shadow."
There was no response.
"Dark Shadow!"
"Ah, ah?!" The black shadow came back to his senses in a daze.
"What's wrong, boss?"
Lu Yuan frowned, "Why do you look so worried?"
The shadow laughed dryly, "No, no..."
Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows and looked at him.
This kid has been with him since he was a child, doesn't he know?
"Well... okay." The shadow scratched his head and said, "There is something, but I don't know how to say it yet... I'll tell the boss after I sort out my thoughts."
He laughed dryly, "I'm fine, boss! What did you ask me to do?"
Lu Yuan paused and thought to himself, well, the child will always have his own things to do when he grows up.
He asked, "How's the investigation going with you? Did you find the blond royal?"
"I'm still investigating one by one! It's almost done! I'm almost done!" The black shadow grinned, "You're still not trusting me to do my job?"
"Okay...as soon as possible." Lu Yuan wiped his face.
"good!"
…
…
Five days later, the Duke did indeed quietly go to the lower town.
Lin Zhi seized the opportunity, changed into Luo Xing's clothes, and with the help of his personal soldiers, sent a group of people onto the aircraft.
The aircraft landed at a small side door in the west district and was picked up by Lu Yuan and several mercenaries. Everyone went smoothly to the place prepared by Lu Yuan.
Seeing those people being taken away by mercenaries, Lin Zhi also breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, I don’t have to worry about being discovered anymore.
"elder sister……!"
“Sasha!!”
Susie and Sasha finally met. Sasha jumped directly into Susie's arms, and the two sisters hugged each other and cried.
Shasha hugged Susie and said, "Brother didn't lie to me... He really found you..."
Dean Wang Fang glanced at Lin Zhi, who was wearing a cloak, nodded, and said nothing.
In order to avoid being exposed, Lin Zhi used the fake identity of Luo Xing when he went to the welfare home before. Only Wang Fang knew who he was, but Wang Fang had been told by Lin Zhi not to reveal it.
"They are staying next to the mercenary club, which can be said to be the safest place in the entire downtown area." Lu Yuan walked up with a smile and suddenly handed Lin Zhi a small box.
"This is……?"
Lin Zhi paused.
Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Strawberry cake."
Lin Zhi was a little absent-minded.
Lin Zhi also has a little secret - he likes to eat sweets.
Not only does he always have candy in his pocket, he also likes to eat cakes and other desserts.
However, as an "Alpha" and the Crown Prince, Lin Zhi naturally would not reveal this.
But once, when Lu Yuan was on a mission, Lin Zhi was enjoying his cake and new book in the secret base, but he saw Lu Yuan coming back after finishing his mission temporarily.
The two looked at each other, staring at each other.
From then on, Lu Yuan liked to use this matter to tease and mock why the Crown Prince had to secretly eat sweets.
His way of teasing him was to buy all kinds of desserts for Lin Zhi and then bring them to him to make fun of him.
Now when he suddenly saw this little cake, Lin Zhi was a little confused.
Lu Yuan smiled and said, "I saw someone selling cakes on the way here, so I bought some."
Just by chance... ?
Lin Zhi frowned and took the small cake, "Thank you."
"What's wrong? Don't you like it?" Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows.
Lin Zhi paused, looked away and said, "Well... I don't really like sweets."
"Really? Okay, then I won't buy it next time." Lu Yuan smiled and passed it off, as if it was just a small matter.
Lin Zhi held the cake box tightly, lowered his eyes and said nothing.
"Since the mission has been completed, I will go back first..."
Before he could finish his words, Gao Jiayang came running over in a hurry, "Captain...Captain! Something bad has happened!"
Lu Yuan frowned, "What's the matter?"
Gao Jiayang gasped, "Black Shadow...Black Shadow was captured by the Duke!"
Lu Yuan: “……?!”
Lin Zhi also widened his eyes slightly.
What?
"Tell me what's going on." Lu Yuan said with a stern look in his eyes, "Isn't the Duke having fun at the club in the South District? How is he connected to the black shadow?"
The situation was urgent, and Gao Jiayang briefly explained the situation to Lu Yuan.
The cause was that the Duke was having a great time in the club casino, but suddenly he fell in love with a woman selling food in the casino and had someone drag her away.
To be honest, the club was not a decent place, and there were many men and women providing special services in the casino, but the Duke just wanted the innocent person.
The Duke not only fell in love with the woman, but also wanted to take her ten-year-old daughter away with her.
The woman lost her husband and could only run the stall while taking care of her daughter. She never expected that her young daughter would be targeted one day.
Seeing the Duke about to drag her daughter away, the woman was unwilling to accept it. During the conflict, the bodyguards who came to maintain order and the Duke's private soldiers fought. In the chaos, a dark figure suddenly appeared... and stabbed the Duke.
"ah?"
Lin Zhi and Lu Yuan were both stunned.
The Duke was surrounded by numerous experts, and his equipment and weapons were the most expensive and latest in the alliance. This showed how skilled Black Shadow must have been to pull off the assassination, but...
"The shadow was subdued right after the assassination attempt! The Duke's son, Noel, was there too. He hurriedly took the Duke and the shadow away!" Gao Jiayang said anxiously, "This happened too suddenly. Many mercenaries were waiting to pick someone up and were too late to rush over. The mercenaries and bodyguards present were too late to rescue the shadow..."
Lu Yuan frowned, "No, why would he go and assassinate the Duke for no reason? Even if he wanted to save people, he could have just taken the mother and daughter away."
"The mother and daughter were right next to the Duke at the time. If they wanted to save them, they had to get close to the Duke. It was only after the Duke was stabbed that they had space to escape." But Gao Jiayang himself felt strange as he spoke.
Even if the black shadow wanted to cover the rear, he could have tried to escape. With his skills, he had a chance, but he didn't do that. Instead, he stayed to carry out the assassination.
It sounds like it was intentional.
But there is no point in dwelling on the reasons now. The most urgent thing is to rescue the people!
Lin Zhi thought to himself, according to Gao Jiayang's description, the black shadow pierced the Duke's heart, so...
Lin Zhi said: "Noel should send the Duke to a hospital outside the upper city for emergency treatment. The Duke will not be able to survive the medical center in the city."
Gao Jiayang nodded repeatedly, "Right...! So if we want to get Black Shadow back, we have to do it now! If the Duke finishes his rescue and is transferred to the city center, and Black Shadow is also taken to the upper city, there will be no turning back after the trial!"
Lin Zhi frowned, "Are you going to confront the Duke head-on and snatch him away directly?"
If word gets out, wouldn't that be a declaration of war between the Lower City and the Upper City? The fragile peace that has lasted for so many years between the two cities could be shattered at any moment!
Gao Jiayang said firmly, "That's right! The mercenaries are united. No matter which of our brothers is in danger, we will do our utmost to save them!"
"And... this is the only way now."
Lu Yuan's eyes sternly said, "Gao Jiayang is right. The black shadow will either be judged on the spot to vent his hatred, or he will be kept to threaten me and the Lower City. No matter which outcome... he must be rescued now."
"I understand all this," Lin Zhi said, "but there's another way to do it without bloodshed."
"Um?"
Lin Zhi said: "Let...Lin Zhi help."
It's a bit strange to talk like that.
Lin Zhi continued, "Let Lin Zhi negotiate with the Duke and negotiate terms to have the person released."
"Ah?!" Gao Jiayang widened his eyes.
Can it be done?!
